(S) kill

[Hazard|]

Hello, I'm wondering how to make this work exactly.

The point is that when a player includes (S) in his nickname, then on the next round (race) his vehicle gets blown and will have to spectate.

  
addEvent("onRaceStateChanging") 
addEventHandler("onRaceStateChanging", root, 
function getPlayerFromPartialName(name) 
    local name = name and name:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "(S)"):lower() or nil 
    local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( player ) 
    if name then 
        for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            local name_ = getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "(S)"):lower() 
            if name_:find(name, 1, true) then 
            for key, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
                if ( theVehicle ) then 
                blowVehicle(theVehicle,false) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

I just wrote much shit and I get errors in the debug, I copied the

getPlayerFromPartialName 

from the wiki.

Could you make it work like I want it to work? if so, thanks alot.

addEvent ( "onRaceStateChanging" ) 
addEventHandler ( "onRaceStateChanging", root, 
    function ( state ) 
        if ( state == "Running" ) then -- If the new state is "running" 
            for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do -- Loop all the ingame players 
                if getPlayerName ( player ):find ( "%(%S%)" ) then -- Check if their nickname contains (S) 
                    local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( player ) -- Get the player vehicle 
                    if ( theVehicle ) then -- If he/she is in a vehicle 
                        blowVehicle ( theVehicle, false ) -- Blow it up 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

Try it.

It works thanks, but the problem is that now it blows all the players with a big S in their nick, I want it to blow the player only if he uses (S)

Could you fix it?

Thanks!

Yeah, it's because parentheses are used for paterns, copy my code again and try it.
